![]() | This article's lead section may be too short to adequately summarize the key points. (April 2020) |
A supplementary school is a community-based initiative to provide additional educational support for children also attending mainstream schools. They are often geared to provide specific language, cultural and religious teaching for children from ethnic minorities.[1]
Supplementary schools by ethnicity[]
Black supplementary schools in the UK[]
A movement for Black supplementary schools started in Britain in the mid-1960s, first among the African-Caribbean communities, and then among other African communities. The movement arose from the view that racism was holding children from these communities back, and the schools primarily addressed two issues: the provision of basic education, along with a specific cultural programme.[2] The George Padmore Institute maintains an archive of material relating to this movement.[3]
Japanese supplementary schools worldwide[]
Hoshū jugyō kō are Japanese supplementary schools in developed overseas countries supported by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.[4]
